Comments state that some LL's are locking out the thermostats, the condition of the properties are bad, and feeling "scammed".  

My tenant is late on rent, and I found out they may be a scam as they gave me a fake name.

That forum looks like back in the days 2000-2010 with all the HYIP scams.

You are trying to insinuate that I am involved with a possible scam that this person may or may not have worked over on you by stating Now I am seeing James Wise sell the houses that this scammer sold to those he took advantage of. 

Please be careful not to be a victim of a scam where they will send you the money or more than you requested then come up with some story about not being able to move in again then request that you send back a portion of the money and keep the rest for your troubles.

@Bill Gulley everyone I have ever talked to in the asbestos or lead abatement game all says it’s a scam.

Therefore, they and I wait as we sift through the garbage, the fantasies, and the scams to find the deal that meets our criteria.

This is just a scam designed to cheat you, but because the government has put such teeth into protecting true service animals, many landlords have been afraid to push back.
